Bad Calls That Have Gone Our Way

In the "38th Most Painfull Losses" thread there has been alot made of questionable calls that have gone against us (i.e. Yelk's field goal against Bama, Seneca's dive against FSU), and both the "blarge" and the three-pointer off a missed first freethrow are discusssed approximately 147 times per basketball season. I also saw a thread on a different teams board discussing poor or questionable calls that fans can remember being in the good-guy's favor.

So with all of the discussion of calls that have gone against us, can anyone remember any notable bad/questionable calls that have gone our way?

Re: Bad Calls That Have Gone Our Way

The first basketball one that comes to mind is in the 96 B8 Tourney final against Kansas. Down 1 with less than 10 secons left (I think) ISU inbounded to Willoughby after KU took the lead and Jacque Vaughn was called for a pretty harmless touch follow that put Willoughby at the line. Made both, Vaughn missed the last ditch effort at the buzzer and you know the rest.

I've got one. In the Cincinnati-Iowa State game in 1997 to get to the Sweet 16. Fast forward to the 2:20 mark of the video. This is the "call" that would eventually set up the Klay Edwards hook shot. Probably should have been a foul on Pratt and not a travel.

Maybe, but the other Cincy player (#34) fell onto Pratt's ankle, knocking Pratt into the guy with the ball. Dominoes.

Re: Bad Calls That Have Gone Our Way

That's a good one Blum.

There's also the questionable holding call from the MU football game in 2006. I know the still photo shows the O-Lineman with a fist full of McKenzie's jersey, but the video doesn't appear quite as obvious...maybe not a bad call as much as a questionable call.
